Skill for success

I am always telling all of you, if you want to improve in a certain area or skill, train for that area or skill. Today we practice our Olympic lifts with an exercise called the heaving snatch balance. This exercise teaches you how to effectively drive your body under a load. Let's face it, CrossFit is natural movements for the most part but we are not comfortable pushing our bodies under falling objects, which essentially is what we are going to do tomorrow. Come in with your lifting shoes on and ready to learn. Leave the excuses at home and get ready to lift!
